1 AMERICAN CONSTITUTIONALISM I GVPT 431 Professor Michael Spivey Office: 1135B Tydings Hall Office Hours: 3-4 M and on request. mspivey@umd.edu Course Content The purpose of this course is to introduce you to basic topics in American constitutional law. In this course, we will look at the structure of American government as set forth in the U.S. Constitution. We will pay particular attention to issues of federalism and the separation of powers. What is and what should be the proper relationship between the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government? What is and what should be the relationship between the federal government and state governments? We will examine the specific powers delegated by the Constitution to the federal government, e.g. the power to regulate trade and the economy. (The Bill of Rights and civil liberties are reserved for another course.) How are we to understand these powers in light of changing economic and cultural circumstances? Through an examination of Supreme Court case law, we will examine how the structure of government has evolved over the last 200 years. Finally, we will close the course by looking at whether an 18 th century constitution one with strong counter-majoritarian features is adequate to structure a functional government in the 21 st century. Throughout the course, we will consider the role of courts themselves and in particular, the Supreme Court in the American republic. Is the Court anti-democratic? Does it usurp decision-making more appropriately left to other political actors? How should the Court go about its work? Are there different theories of democracy in evidence on the Court? Course Requirements 1. Class participation: VERY IMPORTANT. You should come prepared to discuss the readings each and every class. Anyone can be called upon at any time. This is not primarily a lecture course. Learning depends upon the active engagement of everyone. 2. Exams: There will be two exams over the course of the semester: a mid-term and a final exam. 1
2 3. Book Review: Everyone will write a review of The Crisis of the Middle Class Constitution. In your review, you will make proposals for how (if at all) the Constitution should be revised. A rubric for this paper will be provided later in the semester. 4. Actual and Hypothetical Case Discussion Papers: Over the course of the semester we will review numerous Supreme Court decisions and discuss a variety of hypothetical cases. For each, you will prepare a short one-page paper discussing how you would decide the case and why. Grading Criteria Grades will be computed as follows: Book Review: 20% Short Papers: 20% Mid-Term Exam: 25% Final Exam: 35% As noted earlier, participation is very important in this course. I will consider both the quality and the quantity of your comments. Evaluation of participation is inherently subjective. I reserve the right to enhance or reduce your final course grade based upon your participation in this course. Failure to be prepared to discuss the material on the day you are assigned to be case leader will automatically result in a reduction of your course grade. Required The Constitution of the United States Sitaraman, The Crisis of the Middle Class Constitution Suggested Books Institutional Powers and Constraints Epstein and Walker For Further Reading The Federalist Papers: Hamilton, Madison and Jay, edited by J. R. Pole. The Anti-Federalist Papers Borden The Federalist Papers can also be found at: 2

4 Inclement Weather Exams will be rescheduled for the next class meeting if the university is officially closed because of inclement weather. Similarly, any assignments due should be turned in at the next class meeting. Official closures and delays are announced on the campus website and snow phone line ( SNOW) as well as local radio and TV stations. Religious Holidays For any assignment due on a religious holiday, you must make arrangements to submit the assignment before your absence. Academic Honesty and Honor Code Pledge The University of Maryland, College Park has a nationally recognized Code of Academic Integrity, administered by the Student Honor Council. This Code sets standards for academic integrity at Maryland for all undergraduate and graduate students. As a student you are responsible for upholding these standards for the course. It is very important for you to be aware of the consequences of cheating, fabrication, facilitation and plagiarism. For more information on the Code of Academic Integrity or the Student Honor Council, see Academic honesty is taken very seriously in this course. Plagiarism and any other infractions will be taken up with the appropriate university judicial proceedings. Students should write and sign the following statement on the cover page of each paper they submit in this course, I pledge on my honor that I have not given or received any unauthorized assistance on this assignment. General Policies 1. Late Assignments. Short Papers are due at the beginning of the appropriate class. If you are leading the class discussion, you should bring a copy for yourself and a copy for me. If a paper is submitted after the beginning of class but before the next class, it will be graded downward by one letter grade. No late papers will be accepted following the beginning of the next class at which the paper was due. If you expect to miss the class for any reason, you should your paper before the beginning of class. 2. Make up Exams. Exams including the Final Exam will be re-administered for those with excused absences only. An absence can only be excused in advance. 4
5 3. Cell phones and computers. ALL cellphones and computers must be turned off during class. This is a discussion class so your active participation is required. Studies have shown that multi-tasking is not productive or efficient. Moreover, it is disrespectful and harmful to classmates. 4. Attendance. While I do not take attendance, I do make a mental note of those who are absent. 100% attendance is expected. You cannot do well in this class if you are not in class to listen to and participate in the discussion. A complete discussion of all UMD undergraduate course policies can be found at: OFFICE HOURS Finally, I strongly encourage everyone to visit me during office hours even if you do not have questions to discuss. It is a great way for me to get to know you and help you to be successful in this course. 5
